I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Biodiversity and Community Science at the California Academy of Sciences, where I leverage large amounts of species occurrence data to model ecological patterns across diverse landscapes. My research is most broadly motivated by the need to understand the biological and ethical drivers of Anthropocene biogeography. My practical areas of focus include urban ecosystems and climate-stressed montane forests in western North America.
Interactive application to explore plant biodiversity patterns before and after wildfire events in California using data from the California Native Plant Society “Fire Followers” iNat project.
Interactive map exploring biodiversity observations and spatial coverage patterns across San Francisco using iNaturalist data.
A proof-of-concept, extending Brian Buma’s “Edges of (All) Life” to a global scale and adding altitude.
Interactive tool for exploring vegetation-climate mismatch in Sierra Nevada conifer forests.
